Guidelines Gut Pallet Costs

The National Wooden Pallet & Container Association has developed national guidelines to help pallet and container owners reduce the loss of proprietary palles and containers.

The guidelines include: notification (communicating their ownership claim to customers and handlers), distinctive markings (clearly identifying their property), tracking (keeping track of each pallet or container to identify shortages), and retrieval (gathering up stray palles and containers).

NWPCA is finalizing a national database where pallet and container owners will be able to register their proprietary pallet and container claims, procedures and contact information, so owners can ilTange identification and recovery of their property and compensation to recyclers for recovering and handling it.
